Katy and Darius
It is of course still possible these two lip synched, but it didn't sound like it. Katy's enormous denim outfit seemed chosen for optimal post-partum comfort.
Megan Thee Stallion
I wonder if she and J.Lo passed each other notes backstage about how to wrangle minimal-coverage high-cut sheer catsuits.
Megan Thee Stallion
Surely someone wearing a mask could have leaned over and given this a hard tug down before she walked on-stage.
Bebe Rexha and Doja Cat
Bebe's face is like, "I know, I have NO IDEA what ANY of this means!!"
Bieber
It will shock you to your CORE to learn that Bieber performed the exact same two songs he always does these days (he did add a third one with Shawn Mendes, but I've already forgotten it). He is still allergic to suits.
This is several Biebers too many.
BTS
This was a candy-coated contrast to their black-and-white outfits from earlier.
Dan + Shay
Dan-or-Shay in the back there looks like an SNL character to me. I'd also like information on his curl regimen.
Lil Baby
Do my eyes deceive me, or are these see-through -- or at least translucent -- pantaloons? I'm ready for this trend to go away, obviously, but sometimes it's nice to see that the ladies aren't the only ones bewitched by it.
Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell
How much of her outfit do we think she did herself, in her garage?
Machine Gun Kelly
Machine was there to perform his new hit single, "Why Are Belts?"
Dua Lipa
Dua sang a catchy tuned called "Levitating," and her lip synch was ESPECIALLY obvious. But hey, she looked cheerful, and then at the end -- she was performing from London -- she got to do this...
She's in Royal Albert Hall, and that... looks amazing, and terrifying.
This looks like a still from a Coca Cola holiday commercial where she moves her hand and magic dust rains all around and we're all getting exactly what we want AND a cold soda in a glass bottle.
24KGoldn, Iann Dior
But these two get the win for Closest To Eurovision, thanks to disorienting staging that's delightfully weird.
There's a jet and some gold palm trees involved now.
AND SHARKS. A plot twist worthy of Lost.
